An apparatus configured to process foodstuff materials can include an exterior tube, an inner shaft, and multiple differently shaped protrusions. The exterior tube can have a foodstuff inlet, an outlet, and a longitudinal axis, and can be configured to facilitate the conveyance of foodstuff materials along a material passage from the foodstuff inlet to the outlet. The inner shaft can be located within the exterior tube, can extend along the longitudinal axis, and can combine with the exterior tube to define the material passage. The inner shaft can be configured to be rotationally driven. The multiple differently shaped protrusions can be coupled to and extend from the inner shaft, and these differently shaped protrusions can be configured to process the foodstuff materials when the inner shaft is rotationally driven. Processing can include conveying, agitating, and/or hydrating the foodstuff materials.

A device produces a composite active material powder by coating active material or composite particle surfaces, which are obtained by coating the active material particle surfaces with an oxide-based solid electrolyte, with a sulfide-based solid electrolyte. The device includes: a storage body having a cylindrical inner wall surface, and a rotating body disposed in an internal space surrounded by the storage body inner wall surface, having a rotating shaft aligned with the internal space central axis, and which includes blades. Each blade end part has such a tapered section on a front side in the rotating body rotation/movement direction, that a thickness of the blade gradually tapers toward a blade end side, and each blade end part has such a curved end surface on a back side in the rotating body rotation/movement direction, that the curved end surface faces the storage body inner wall surface and is generally parallel thereto.

A mixer having i) a vessel defining a mixing chamber surrounded by boundary walls for receiving a mixture containing lumps therein, ii) a plurality of mixing blades, and iii) a driving mechanism supporting the mixing blades in the mixing chamber for mixing motion relative to the vessel so as to mix the mixture within the mixing chamber of the vessel, further includes at least one lump conditioning blade. The lump conditioning blade is supported by the driving mechanism such that the lump conditioning blade is movable in a working direction along a respective one of the boundary walls with a working edge of the blade being maintained at a prescribed space from the boundary wall which is effective to reduce a lump size of the lumps in the mixture as the mixture passes between the working edge of the lump conditioning blade and the boundary wall.

Provided is a dust stop device for a sealed kneader, the device being capable of excellent supply of lubricating oil. The sealed kneader includes a pair of rotors and a supporting member. The dust stop device includes a rotating ring attached to each rotor and a stationary ring attached to the supporting member. Both the rings have respective contact surfaces which make surface contact with each other. The stationary ring has a lubricating-oil supply portion with a through-hole. A part of the through-hole, the part including a part opened in the contact surface, is a long hole extending along a circumferential direction of rotation of the rotating ring.

A reel assembly for a feed mixer having a plurality of support plates connected to a central shaft. A plurality of reel bars extend between and are connect to adjacent support plates with a torsion spring assembly.

The disclosure generally refers to a continuous mixer, which can be used in the production of coated particles, such as proppants used in hydraulic fracturing techniques.

A reactor is provided for the preparation of modified bitumen, which reactor comprises a horizontal housing comprising a cylindrical wall and two side walls, wherein a bitumen inlet has been provided at or near one of the side walls of the housing and a bitumen product outlet has been provided at or near the opposite side wall of the housing, wherein a plurality of inlets for the provision of oxygen-containing gas has been provided in the cylindrical wall of the housing between the bitumen inlet and the bitumen product outlet, which multi-purpose reactor is further provided with a mixer arranged inside the housing comprising at least one rotor rotating within at least one stator having a plurality of openings. The reaction is used to prepare modified bitumen by contacting bitumen in the reactor with a modified elevated temperature and pressure.

A compost turning apparatus may include a towable mobile base being elongated in a longitudinal direction and having a lateral direction. The mobile base may comprise a frame, a tongue mounted on the frame, one or more transport wheels mountable in a transport setup and an operational setup, one or more support wheels mounted on the frame, and a drive wheel mounted on the frame. The apparatus may also include a rotor mounted on the mobile base to rotate about an axis oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the mobile base. The rotor may have a plurality of paddles arranged in circumferential rows, with various paddle positions and paddle orientations
